Try penny whistling this

I'm almost tempted to call today's band a one-hit wonder, but that wouldn't be quite true, as their closest brush with the charts (in the UK at least) came when their version of Can't Help Falling In Love agonisingly stalled at number #42, in 1986. So they didn't technically manage a hit at all. How about a half-hit wonder? That'll do.

The song did at least hang around the lower reaches of the top 75 for eight weeks, which is longer than many actual pop 40 hits manage; it also turned up as the theme song to (at least) two films: John Hughes's 1987 teen drama Some Kind Of Wonderful and the Stephen Frears-directed 1993 TV movie The Snapper.

The latter's easily the best of these films, by the way, and is also miles better than the other two largely-disappointing movie adaptations of Roddy Doyle's Barrytown trilogy of novels, The Commitments and The Van. The books themselves are all terrific, though, if you've somehow never got around to reading them.

Anyway, not for the first time, I digress. Here's the Stephen Hague remix of Can't Help Falling In Love as featured on the Some Kind Of Wonderful soundtrack. I love this song to bits.

Mildly Interesting Pop Fact: Lick The Tins' name derives from a nickname given to an old tramp by the children from guitarist Ronan Heenan's home town. At least that's what it says on their Wikipedia page - and Wikipedia would never lie to us, right?
